I can assure you this comes as no surprise to ANYBODY except maybe an imbecile (like some of the liberals here). Super delegates, that's like a dead giveaway that the Democratic Party's process is rigged.
The reason for 714 Democrat Super Delegates is the election of 1984. It's to prevent another 1984.
Too many people are politically inept--& are ignorant of basic civics who vote in this country. They are attracted to
(EAR candy) coming out of the mouths of politicians. Politicians that deliver the
EAR candy do it for donations and votes, because they have no real record to run on. So they make lots of promises using misconceptions, things that can't be done and things that don't have a snowballs chance in hell of ever getting passed.
(Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are the candyman candidates.)
Now after this 2016 election cycle and when it's over--I am certain that the Republican party will be adding in some Super delegates of their own. This is expected with Hillary Clinton v Donald Trump

If Sanders takes back his endorsement of Hillary Clinton because he has an issue with DNC chair Wasserman, then he'll lose more Democrat support, including the support of those that voted for him.
You're wrong Sanders has everything to lose.
Keep in mind also that it was Bernie Sanders that started the
WAR with the DNC. It was his decision, and his alone to change his party status to run on
their ticket. When he did that he agreed to all DNC national procedures, rules in each and every state, including those 714 Democrat Super Delegates and their role. He came right out of the gate and campaigned on a
rigged election, which was bound to really piss off some DNC officials.
Regardless Hillary Clinton buried Sanders by 3,775,437 popular votes. In comparison Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in 2008 by a mere 41,622 votes.
